4.5.2 Enabling a Port
When you enable an Ethernet port that has been disabled, whatever
bridging functions you had previously configured for that port are
re-enabled.
To enable a port, or a range of ports, at the LCM prompt:
1. Type enable
For example, enable 7-9 would enable ports 7, 8, and 9.
LCM responds:
4.5.2.1 noRIP Option
The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is one of the protocols that
allows the FN10 to build an accurate, current routing table. This table
includes the networks it knows about, the next hop, and the number of
hops to get there. RIP enables you to use an NMS to remotely manage the
FN10 through a router.
!
CAUTION
If you disable the port through which someone is remotely
managing the FN10, that person will not be able to
communicate with the FN10. Use the LCM command
addresses display to find the port number you are using to
manage the FN10.
!
CAUTION
Entering enable for an already enabled FN10
port resets that port’s statistics counters.
NOTE
Rip listening means that the FN10 is in listening mode
only. No RIP packets are created.
Port 7: Enabled, Rip listening
Port 8: Enabled, Rip listening
